Raising the Modern Child

Today’s child is growing up in a world with challenges that their parents simply did not have and might not even understand. There are real concerns around the emotional, social and physical safety of our children and keeping them safe without stunting their independence and development is a real challenge. In recent studies a quarter of parent's report that their children have experienced cyber bullying. This workshop will focus on helping parents understand and manage the challenges their children are facing and equip them to teach their children to make good choices and keep themselves safe.

“The earlier we introduce screens, the more it affects the child’s brain development and the more likely they will have trouble managing their addiction to screens and technology later in life.” ~ Dr Laura Markham
